LAB-430-Indian's CEO Mike Kennedy on Beating Harley, Dominating King of the Baggers & What Riders Need to Hear

In this episode we discuss motorcycle tires and tell you the best one, in our opinion.  We have had the opportunity to test many.  Lurch and I talk about the Harley-Davidson OEM Dunlop, Michelin Commander III, American Eagle (now referred to as AE2), and Metzeler CruiseTec (current OEM tire for Indian Motorcycle).  Which one do we think is the best?  Listen and find out.   SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The Metzeler CruiseTec motorcycle tire delivers a strong balance of grip, stability, and long-distance comfort for riders who want modern performance from a cruiser or touring tire. Designed for heavyweight V-twin motorcycles, the CruiseTec stands out with impressive wet-weather traction and confident cornering characteristics that many riders don't typically expect from a cruiser-focused tire. The dual-compound rear construction helps provide solid mileage while still maintaining excellent edge grip, making the tire feel planted during aggressive riding and smooth during highway touring. Riders often report noticeably improved handling response compared to older-generation cruiser tires, especially on bikes like Harley-Davidson touring models and Indian motorcycles. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Another major strength of the CruiseTec is ride quality and predictability. The tire warms up quickly, tracks well through sweeping turns, and remains stable at freeway speeds even when carrying luggage or a passenger. Road feedback is confidence inspiring without feeling harsh, and the tread pattern does an effective job evacuating water in rainy conditions. While some riders may find that ultra-high-mileage touring tires last slightly longer, the CruiseTec generally earns praise for prioritizing performance and rider confidence without sacrificing durability. For motorcycle enthusiasts who want a tire that combines sporty handling with touring comfort, the Metzeler CruiseTec is widely considered one of the top choices in the V-twin tire category.

In this podcast episode, I interview the new Indian Motorcycle CEO Mike Kennedy.  We learn more about Mike and his motorcycle background.  He also shares the vision and focus of Indian.  We get into King of the Baggers (KOTB), the relationship with Vance and Hines, and how Indian Motorcycles is performing well at KOTB racing.   SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Mike Kennedy is a longtime motorcycle industry executive who became CEO of Indian Motorcycle following the brand's 2025 separation from Polaris Inc. and acquisition by private equity firm Carolwood LP. Kennedy brings more than 30 years of powersports experience to the role, including leadership positions as CEO of RumbleOn, CEO and President of Vance & Hines, and a 26-year career at Harley-Davidson. Industry observers view Kennedy as a motorcycle-focused executive with deep experience in dealer networks, aftermarket performance products, and brand development. Since taking over Indian Motorcycle in 2026, he has emphasized strengthening rider experience, dealer support, performance innovation, and expanding the brand's global relevance while preserving its historic American heritage.

In 2026, Indian Motorcycle entered a transformative new era as it became a standalone motorcycle company under the ownership of private equity firm Carolwood LP after separating from Polaris. The historic American brand celebrated its 125th anniversary during the transition, with Mike Kennedy leading the company's renewed focus on motorcycles, rider experience, dealer support, American manufacturing, and global brand growth. Industry coverage and rider discussions have highlighted optimism about Indian's sharper motorcycle-only focus, continued investment in performance touring and cruiser models, and efforts to strengthen its identity as Harley-Davidson's primary American rival in the heavyweight motorcycle market.

In this episode, we tackle one of the hottest debates in the Harley-Davidson community: throwaway paper motorcycle oil filters versus reusable motorcycle oil filters. We break down the confusion surrounding micron ratings, nominal versus absolute filtration, and why comparing one filter's numbers to another without context can be misleading. Instead of getting lost in internet comment wars, this episode explains oil filtration in plain biker language so everyday riders can make smarter maintenance decisions with confidence. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE We also take a close look at two of the most talked-about reusable options on the market: the Figurati and the PC Racing FLO oil filters. From stainless mesh filtration and cooling fins to magnetic debris capture and serviceable designs, we compare what each system brings to the table. We discuss why oil flow matters just as much as filtration, how overly restrictive filters can create problems, and why reusable filters have been trusted in racing and demanding applications for decades. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Finally, we bust the common myth that aftermarket oil filters automatically void your Harley warranty, explaining what federal law and Harley's own warranty language actually say. We also explore the added benefits of inspectable filters, magnetic dipsticks, and building a complete contamination-control system for your motorcycle. Whether you're already running a reusable filter or just curious about making the switch, this episode gives you the facts you need—without the hype—so you can stop stressing over microns and get back to riding.

In this episode, Lurch and I are joined by Patreon Member Matt Haywood and we talk about Firearms Legal Protection.  Being protected by a Firearms Legal Protection plan gives gun owners immediate access to experienced attorneys after a self-defense incident, which is one of the most critical moments to have professional guidance. Instead of scrambling to find legal help while under extreme stress, members can contact a 24/7 emergency hotline and be connected with a lawyer who understands self-defense law. This early legal support can help protect your rights during questioning, prevent costly mistakes, and ensure you navigate the legal system properly from the very beginning. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Another major benefit is financial protection against the high costs associated with criminal and civil defense. Legal cases involving firearms can quickly become expensive, with attorney fees, expert witnesses, investigations, and court costs adding up fast. A Firearms Legal Protection plan helps cover these expenses, reducing the financial burden on the member and their family. This allows individuals to focus on their defense and recovery rather than worrying about how to afford a potentially lengthy legal battle. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Beyond legal and financial coverage, these plans also provide peace of mind and education. Members often gain access to training resources, legal insights, and guidance on responsible firearm ownership and use of force laws. Knowing you have a structured plan in place can make a significant difference in confidence and preparedness, helping ensure that if you ever face a self-defense situation, you are not navigating the aftermath alone.

In this episode, we talk about the 2026 Harley-Davidson Limiteds. Harley clearly put a lot of thought into rider and passenger comfort on the 2026 Limited. The redesigned heated seat is one of the first things you notice. It now comes standard with heating for both rider and passenger, and Harley wisely kept physical buttons on the bike for adjusting heat levels instead of burying those controls in menus. That matters in the real world. When it's cold outside, nobody wants to scroll through screens just to warm up. The heated grips are also standard and work very well. Like the seat, they heat up quickly and get legitimately warm on higher settings. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The taller windshield worked great for me at 5'8″, allowing me to look right over the top while still getting solid wind protection. Combined with the fairing vent, it did a good job reducing head buffeting. You also get lower fairings with storage and vents, plus fork-mounted air vents that can be adjusted while riding. I really appreciated that Harley made all of these easy to operate by feel without taking your eyes off the road. And yes—having highway pegs standard on a serious touring motorcycle is exactly the kind of thing riders want to see. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! The trunk on the 2026 Harley Limited has been redesigned, and I think Harley did a great job with it. It looks better, flows better with the bike, and has a slightly taller design without looking boxy or awkward. Most importantly, it can now fit two helmets inside, which is a huge win for real-world touring and passenger use. Harley didn't just make the trunk bigger for the sake of it. They clearly spent time reshaping it so it would remain sleek while becoming more functional. That said, the integrated brake and turn signal lighting inside the trunk does take up a bit of space, so compared to my detachable trunk setup there is slightly less usable room in certain areas. Even so, fitting two helmets is a meaningful improvement. NEW FREE VIDEOS RELEASED: How To Change Harley Rear Wheel Bearings The Best Motorcycle Road Isn't the Tail of the Dragon – It's This One!

The annual Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival was officially canceled for 2026 and discontinued as a yearly event after just a three-year run, despite previously announced dates for July 9–12. Harley-Davidson confirmed it is shifting away from the annual festival format and returning to its traditional strategy of hosting large-scale hometown celebrations only during major milestone anniversaries—meaning there will be no Homecoming event in 2026 or in the immediate future. Instead, elements of the festival will be folded into other partnerships and events, including a collaboration with Summerfest, while the next major Milwaukee-based celebration is expected in 2028 for the company's 125th anniversary.

I recently had the opportunity to sit in on a meeting with Indian Motorcycle CEO Mike Kennedy.  His career reflects a blend of operational strategy, sales network leadership, and brand stewardship in the motorcycle world. Kennedy's long tenure at Harley-Davidson, especially managing dealers and major markets, combined with executive leadership at Vance & Hines and RumbleOn, positioned him as a respected figure well suited to steer Indian Motorcycle's next chapter. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Throughout the meeting, Kennedy emphasized the importance of balancing respect for Indian's legacy with strategic innovation. He discusses how the company plans to focus on core product areas such as cruisers, touring bikes, and heavyweight baggers—segments where Indian has traditionally been strong. Kennedy also touched on his commitment to American manufacturing and fostering strong relationships with dealers and riders alike, signaling a partnership-driven approach rather than solely corporate direction. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Kennedy also aims to address concerns among enthusiasts about the brand's future under new ownership. He stressed that private equity backing doesn't mean abandoning the soul of Indian Motorcycle, and pledges to maintain the authenticity and rider-centric spirit that fans expect. With this blend of respect for tradition and a clear business strategy for growth, Kennedy set out a roadmap that could shape the next chapter of Indian Motorcycle's storied history.
